<title>tracing: Add support for recording tgid of tasks</title>

<id>d914ba37d7145acb9fd3bb23075c2d56e5a44eb6</id>
<content type='text'>
Inorder to support recording of tgid, the following changes are made:

* Introduce a new API (tracing_record_taskinfo) to additionally record the tgid
  along with the task's comm at the same time. This has has the benefit of not
  setting trace_cmdline_save before all the information for a task is saved.
* Add a new API tracing_record_taskinfo_sched_switch to record task information
  for 2 tasks at a time (previous and next) and use it from sched_switch probe.
* Preserve the old API (tracing_record_cmdline) and create it as a wrapper
  around the new one so that existing callers aren't affected.
* Reuse the existing sched_switch and sched_wakeup probes to record tgid
  information and add a new option 'record-tgid' to enable recording of tgid

When record-tgid option isn't enabled to being with, we take care to make sure
that there's isn't memory or runtime overhead.

<title>ftrace: Have cached module filters be an active filter</title>

<content type='text'>
When a module filter is added to set_ftrace_filter, if the module is not
loaded, it is cached. This should be considered an active filter, and
function tracing should be filtered by this. That is, if a cached module
filter is the only filter set, then no function tracing should be happening,
as all the functions available will be filtered out.

This makes sense, as the reason to add a cached module filter, is to trace
the module when you load it. There shouldn't be any other tracing happening
until then.

This is the start of the infrastructure work to allow for tracing module
functions before it is loaded.

Currently the following command:

  # echo :mod:some-mod &gt; set_ftrace_filter

will enable tracing of all functions within the module "some-mod" if it is
loaded. What we want, is if the module is not loaded, that line will be
saved. When the module is loaded, then the "some-mod" will have that line
executed on it, so that the functions within it starts being traced.

No need to add ugly #ifdefs in the code. Having a standard stub file is much

deleting the ftrace instance.

To address this, let's clear all registered function probes before
deleting the ftrace instance.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New features for this release:

   - Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
     i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace &gt; set_ftrace_filter

   - The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing
     instances. i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo
     do_IRQ:stacktrace &gt; set_ftrace_filter The old way was written very
     hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.

   - New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the
     set_ftrace_pid will have their children added when the processes
     with their pids listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.

   - Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events

   - Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function
     tracer (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing
     will come in the next release.

   - Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance"

Have the traceon/off function probe triggers affect only the instance they
are set in. This required making the trace_on/off accessible for other files
in the tracing directory.
